To convert the old tobacco factory into a contemporary culture centre the building will be opened up to the city, removing fences and surrounding walls and creating a mall where people can stroll at leisure. A glass prism will be created to give the building more visibility and provide a new perspective on the city. Tabakalera will be characterised by its transversal nature, as a meeting place between disciplines and a stimulus to innovation. The different spaces in the centre will therefore be hybrid and can be adapted for a variety of uses.
New entry points and urban zones:
The building will have three entry points, and these will generate new urban zones in turn:
-New access in the front towards the underpass, creating a large square. Access to the main hall of the Centre.
-The present entrance is consolidated, integrating it into its urban surroundings.
-New entrance at the back of the building on the first floor, via the bridge over the railway line.
